Instruments: Guitar
When I first sit down with a student, my number one goal is to figure out what they are excited about. I personally never spent much time practicing music that I wasn't excited about, so I don't expect my students to either. Whether it ends up being rock, classical, jazz, folk, or maybe a specific band or artist, I feel that students learn best when they are excited about the music they are learning. Read More

Music provides students with both expression and community, both of which I believe students- and all people- need.As a teacher, I believe that my strongest commitment and my best effort are the birthright of each and every one of my students. Just as I believe that students who struggle should be given the additional help that they need in order to continue and eventually learn, I believe that students who excel should be offered the avenues that they crave in order to satiate their desires for greater challenges.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I was raised into a family of music and heard classic/southern rock, blues, bluegrass and pop hits performed live at family get togethers throughout my youth. I played Euphonium in a concert setting through high school as well as the Baritone in marching band. My native instrument is the electric guitar but I have studied heavily with acoustic material as well as bass guitar. I have had the opportunity to teach a few different age groups as well and it inspires me to continue teaching no matter the age group. Read More

Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I have used these in the past for some applications, but I do not like to in private lessons. They can be very useful for coordinating a class of children to all playing the same thing, but private lessons allow a student to choose their own path. I think that to limit them to a particular author's book without cause would take away from that.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
This depends greatly on the instrument, and my answers would be specific to me personally. The things that I struggle with on guitar or piano are things that I excel at on trumpet or euphonium. But trumpet and euphonium have limitations that don't exist on guitar or piano. It is for this reason that I enjoy playing a wide variety of instruments.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I have former students who have gone on to be professional musicians - either in the sense of performing publicly for money or becoming music teachers themselves. While I certainly can't take all the credit for their successes, seeing their journeys continue on past my influence feeds back around and inspires me even more.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
While my most recent school has not participated in any contests, festivals, or other events of a competitive nature, at my first school I did had multiple students that earned top ratings at solo/ensemble contest.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I have the same band director from 5th grade through Senior year of High School, and he is certainly a big factor in my musical journey. I wasn't very good in most other subjects, but in music, I was. And while that could of been the end of it, my director didn't let me stop at being "good." He constantly pushed me to be better, to work harder, and to improve. And I'm still doing that, more than a decade since I've been in his classroom.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I don't consider myself at this point to have a "primary instrument." The first instrument I learned was the trumpet, but I can't remember why I wanted to learn it over anything else. In college I switched to Euphonium, which is very similar to trumpet, because it allowed me to receive a scholarship. By that point, I had learned multiple instruments and didn't see myself as a "trumpet player" or "guitar player," but simply a musician who could play these different instruments. That continued through college and into today. As a teacher, the instruments I play the most often are piano, ukulele, and guitar, but I believe that all instruments have their place, their own strengths and weaknesses, and things that make them easier and more difficult to learn.
